The Boring Company will build a loop in Chicago - Duration: 1:21.

Elon Musk's Boring Company won a bid to create and maintain a loop between O'Hare International

Airport and Block 37 in downtown Chicago.

It'll be called the Chicago Express Loop, and passengers will be able to use it to travel

at speeds up to 150 miles per hour on "autonomous electric skates" between the two locations.

According to The Boring Company's website, the electric skates are public transportation

vehicles based on the Tesla Model X.

The Boring Company says it "aims to alleviate soul-destroying traffic by constructing safe,

affordable, and environmentally-friendly public transportation systems."

The company says once the Chicago Loop's done, it'll take 12 minutes to travel from O'Hare

to downtown Chicago.

And depending on traffic, according to Google Maps, that trip could take you about 40 minutes

driving a vehicle or riding the bus.

The Chicago Tribune reports Chicago's city officials picked The Boring Company from several

other competing bids.

The Boring Company has also proposed building a "high-speed underground public transportation

system" on the East Coast.

The system would run from downtown Washington, D.C., to downtown Baltimore.

And to tack onto The Boring Company's endeavors, it applied for an excavation permit in Los

Angeles.

That's for a tunnel that would operate in Los Angeles and Culver City.

Initially, it would be used for system and safety testing and line-switching demonstrations.

If the test tunnel is approved by the city, it could later be made available to the public.

The Boring Company didn't say when the Chicago project would be done.

Workers in India build a STREET over a sleeping dog that dies in agony - Duration: 3:01.

The animal died in agony after burning tar was poured over it during work on a road surface near the Taj Mahal in Agra

Activists say the dog was asleep and, rather than being chased off, was buried alive before being flattened by a roller

The crew then left the half-buried animal on the road before it was spotted by shocked commuters on the morning of June 13 - still clinging to life with its hind legs trapped in the freshly-laid tar
